Costing Study of the Clients of the Mobile Community Treatment Program [1987-1988: Madison, Wisconsin] (ICPSR 9843)

Released/updated on: 2024-02-14

Geographic coverage: Madison, United States, Wisconsin

Time period: 1987-01-01--1988-12-31

The University of Wisconsin's Department of Preventive Medicine, in cooperation with the Department of Psychiatry and the Mental Health Center of Dane County, Wisconsin, conducted a comprehensive costing study of the clients of a community-based program for treating the mentally ill, the Mobile Community Treatment program (MCT), in Madison, Wisconsin. MCT provided assertive outreach and case management for individuals with major psychiatric disorders. The aim of this study was to determine the costs for clients of MCT to live in the community, including the costs of their medical, residential, employment, law enforcement, and maintenance needs. Clients of MCT were queried about their use of services provided by medical, human service, and law enforcement agencies, as well as their receipt of in-kind and cash benefits from public and private agencies. Service and cost data on survey respondents were also obtained from the records of local agencies, such as the Dane County Sheriff's Department, Dane County Circuit Court, Dane County Department of Public Health, homeless shelters, Adult Protective Services, and vocational training programs.

Physical Activity and Lymphedema (PAL) Social and Economic Quality of Life (SEQL) Study, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, 2015-2016 (ICPSR 38268)

Released/updated on: 2022-02-01

Geographic coverage: United States, New Jersey, Pennsylvania

Time period: 2000-01-01--2015-02-28

Upper body breast-cancer related lymphedema (BCRL) is a persistent adverse outcome of cancer treatment that affects the physical health and quality of life of up to 1 in 3 of the 2.9 million breast cancer survivors in the US. For those with BCRL, known predictors of progression include BMI, type of surgery and radiation treatment, all of which are associated with social factors. This study was designed to examine the role of finances in long-term BCRL management and progression, and compare the financial experiences of patients managing BCRL to those who do not.

In 2016, the study team conducted 40 interviews with women living in Philadelphia and New Jersey, half of whom had BCRL and half who were breast cancer survivors who had not been diagnosed with BCRL. Participants were sampled from a larger longitudinal study collecting quantitative data on patient's healthcare spending over the course of a year. At the 6-month time point, 40 participants were selected randomly within strata of race, age, and socioeconomic position for 30-minute semi-structured interviews on changes in their economic situation as a result of breast cancer treatment, when applicable, both cancer treatment and ongoing BCRL management. Questions were designed to cover the ways in which costs for treatment affected the patient, their family, and their anticipated future behaviors around health or finance. Themes include interactions with insurance companies, costs of medications, and charitable support services for assisting with breast cancer and BCRL financial costs.

Post-Abortion Care Costing Study, Uganda, 2011-2012 (ICPSR 36971)

Released/updated on: 2018-04-11

Geographic coverage: Uganda

Time period: 2011-01-01--2012-12-31

These data come from a survey of 1,338 women who received post-abortion care at 39 Ugandan health facilities. This dataset contains information on treatment costs, on the impact of abortion complications on children in the household, on the productivity of the respondent and other household members, and on changes in their economic circumstances. It also contains data collected via survey from the medical care provider. The final file includes 420 female patients, who responded to both the initial and follow-up interviews, and were classified as certainly, probably or possibly having had an induced abortion.

Released/updated on: 2018-03-21

Geographic coverage: Ohio

Time period: 2004-01-01--2008-12-31

These data are part of NACJD's Fast Track Release and are distributed as they were received from the data depositor. The files have been zipped by NACJD for release, but not checked or processed except for the removal of direct identifiers. Users should refer to the accompanying readme file for a brief description of the files available with this collection and consult the investigator(s) if further information is needed.

This study compared the adult criminal justice and child welfare system outcomes of four pathways through the juvenile justice system - Traditional Probation, Intensive Probation, Specialty Court Docket (Crossroads Program), and commitment to state youth correction services (Department of Youth Services). The study compared the effectiveness of a continuum of services and supervision in improving public safety, including re-arrest and re-incarceration, and in improving outcomes in engagement with child welfare as parents, including child welfare complaints and dispositions.

The core research question is: "what is the relative effectiveness of four different juvenile justice interventions on improving public safety and child welfare outcomes?" The study population is all youths (n=2581) who entered the juvenile court from 2004-2008. It then included 7-10 years of follow-up in the adult justice and child welfare systems for all youths. The four interventions are on a continuum of intensity of services and supervision with Traditional Probation having the fewest services followed by Intensive Probation, Crossroads, and Division of Youth Services commitment.

California Drug and Alcohol Treatment Assessment (CALDATA), 1991-1993 (ICPSR 2295)

Released/updated on: 2008-10-07

Geographic coverage: United States, California

Time period: 1991-01-01--1993-12-31

The California Drug and Alcohol Treatment Assessment (CALDATA) was designed to study the costs, benefits, and effectiveness of the state's alcohol and drug treatment infrastructure (recovery services) and specifically to assess (1) the effects of treatment on participant behavior, (2) the costs of treatment, and (3) the economic value of treatment to society. Data were collected on participants (clients) across four types of treatment programs, or modalities: residential, residential "social model," nonmethadone outpatient, and outpatient methadone (detoxification and maintenance). Data were collected in two phases. In Phase 1, treatment records were abstracted for clients who received treatment or were discharged between October 1, 1991, and September 30, 1992. In Phase 2, these clients were located and recruited for a follow-up interview. The CALDATA design and procedures included elements from several national treatment outcome studies including the Drug Services Research Survey (ICPSR 3393), Services Research Outcomes Study (ICPSR 2691), National Treatment Improvement Evaluation Study (ICPSR 2884), and Drug Abuse Treatment Outcome Study (ICPSR 2258). The record abstract was designed to collect identifying and locating information for interview reference during the personal interviewing phase. The abstract also collected demographic, drug, or alcohol use, and treatment and service information. The follow-up questionnaire covered time periods before, during, and after treatment and focused on topics such as ethnic and educational background, drug and alcohol use, mental and physical health, HIV and AIDS status, drug testing, illegal activities and criminal status, living arrangements and family issues, employment and income, and treatment for drug, alcohol, and mental health problems. Drugs included alcohol, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine powder, crack, downers, hallucinogens, heroin, illegal methadone, inhalants, LSD, marijuana/hashish/THC, methamphetamines and other stimulants, narcotics, over-the-counter drugs, PCP, ritalin or preludin, and sedatives/hypnotics. CALDATA was originally known as the California Outcomes Study (COS).

Substance Abuse Treatment Cost Allocation and Analysis Template (SATCAAT) Study, 1992-1994: [United States] (ICPSR 3401)

Released/updated on: 2008-08-26

Geographic coverage: United States

Time period: 1992-01-01--1994-12-31

The Substance Abuse Treatment Cost Allocation and Analysis Template (SATCAAT) is a unit cost protocol based on rigorous cost accounting methods and standards for collecting substance abuse treatment cost data. This protocol provides a uniform accounting system for treatment providers that ultimately translates costs by category into costs by unit of service. Each treatment provider may include up to eight service delivery units (SDUs), which are defined as a single treatment modality delivered at a single geographic site. Data are entered into a series of spreadsheets within the template, beginning with the conversion of the provider's financial accounting reports into the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment's (CSAT's) chart of accounts structure and continuing through the allocation of costs using a step-down method of cost allocation. The allocation of costs will produce a "cost profile" of average cost per client by unit of service for each SDU. This data collection includes data from a purposive sample. These data are useful for examining patterns of service unit costs across the sampled SDUs. However, generalization to other providers or provider types is not possible. This release includes two files: (1) the SDU summary file for residential women and children (RWC) (78 records), and (2) cost data for all SDUS (213 records). The SDU summary file for RWC includes four SDU types: (1) residential pregnant and postpartum women, (2) residential long-term pregnant and postpartum women, (3) residential short-term pregnant and postpartum women, and (4) residential women and children. The SATCAAT Study includes data for multiple years for some SDUs. Each year of data for each SDU constitutes one record. SATCAAT captures costs for 14 different services: initial assessment, medical exams, project evaluation, psychosocial evaluation, individual counseling, group counseling, HIV testing and counseling, medical and diagnostic services, housing and meals, clinical case management, networking and outreach, client transportation, client education, and staff education. The focus of the SDUs in the cost data file were (1) Aftercare, (2) Children, (3) Detox, (4) HIV, (5) Outpatient, (6) Residential, and (7) Women. This file includes 27 different SDU types based on the service delivery design of the sampled treatment providers (e.g., aftercare -- women only, outpatient aftercare -- adult, outpatient aftercare -- adolescent).
